    Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.

    Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.

    Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

    The sad thing is that this field actually exists and is used by Xero if the process starts the creation of a purchase order rather than just entering a supplier invoice

    One can only hope, but it was many years of frustration before I posted this and now many years since, and Xero have still not made any progress in this area. I wander how many customers they have lost because Xero does not have a secondary reference number field available when recording a suppliers invoice directly

    The sad joke in all of this is that the Field already exists IF you start the process of creating a PO to send to a supplier. You can then convert this into a Bill when you get the Supplier’s Invoice.
    Come on Xero. Make this happen
